Scrathched E100G with Pec 12 and Pads So Embarrased

Andre Noble · Feb 16, 2015

Hello, somehow I managed to majorly scratch the back of a strip of Kodak e100g film using pec 12 and ped pad as if i took sandpaper to it.

IF I have image scanned by west coast imaging do you think their Kami wet mount will eliminate this?

Try glass mounts works like a charm after the tragedy for me.

Wet mounting in my experience doesn't eliminate defects and it surely won't make large scratches you can see with your naked eye disappear. I know everyone says it does but I just don't see it. Good thing for the healing brush.

There is a product called NoScratch. It works well for this type of situation.

thanks for the tip on the no scratch I think I actually may have a bottle of that.now I just need some cibachrome paper and chemistry and I'll be in heaven...

Dear Andre,

The scanning fluid should eliminate the problem.

Good luck,

I did the same thing with a scrap Velvia slide- never letting PEC PADs near the emulsion side of my slides- What's the proper way to use PEC 12?

You need the healing power of Coolscan 9000 using Nikonscan ICE . . .

I try to make sure my film doesn't need cleaning, or just wash it again etc.

I've found PEC-12 leaves more residue than anything I've ever seen, despite fraudulent claims to the opposite. It does however dissolve developer tar, so good for cleaning prints for marks that water doesn't clean off.

Just spray some on some glass or clear plastic and wait for it dry and see for yourself.

thanks for Suggestion, Les. I tried nikon 5000 scanner with ice. I will try my nikon 9000 scanner as it has different type light source. i talked to man guy at west coast imaging re tango drum scan. he said kami fluid will not eliminate the visibility of scratches.

I could have told you that. Oh wait, I did

The Coolscan 9000+Nikonscan ICE is nothing short of magical - with no post required . . .
